Willough Collection

CEO

For over three decades, MJ Paschall has championed growth within the independent owner-operated lifestyle boutique hotel and hotel residence category. As Founder and CEO of Willough Collection, she extends this mission through a historic B&B just minutes from Philadelphia. Willough Bed+Breakfast, built in 1882, now fully restored, is where she creates distinctive, experience-led stays rooted in local culture and storytelling.

Previously, MJ spent more than 30 years at Philadelphia-based Korman Communities, most recently as Senior Vice President of AKA Hotels + Hotel Residences. Under her leadership, AKA was recognized as Best Global Operator from the Serviced Apartment Awards, several years in a row.

Outside of work, MJ rarely sits still—traveling often, spending time with family and friends, and championing fellow entrepreneurs and creators.
